Smith for shoulders is bad. standing military press with olympic bar is better for shoulder health. use a false grip (thumb not gripping the bar.

My PB bench press is 110kg for 3 reps, never done a 1rm

pb for back squats is 85 for 6

pb for deadlift is 135 for 5

Deadlift is the lift that you will get stronger in the quickest, then its squat, then bench press and finally military press is the slowest to progress

Failed on deadlifting 176kg this morning! Pissed off because i got it up but lost grip before locking out.
That was deadlifting with a 16kg scaffold bar and both overhand grips which im not used to. Im confident i can smash out 180kg on saturday using the normal olympic bar with being able to grip it properly.

BW = ~87kg

Bench: 125kg
Squat: (Always ass to grass): 155kg
Deadlift: 230kg

These are total guesses judging by my 5RM's that I've recently done. My 5RM's are:

Bench: 5x115kg
Squat: 5x140kg
Deadlift: 5x210kg

bench (smith) 165, that was a few months ago though. lost a fair bit of size since then.
deadlift 180 same as above.
leg press whatever the machine goes upto 200 i think plus an extra 20, still too light to be my max though.
will find out my recent figures tomo, been hitting the cardio way too much recently

Barbell bench press puts far more emphasis on shoulders and triceps. Dumbbell bench press is far far better for chest as it recruits far more of your pectorals during the lift adn gives a full range of motion.

No the fiat's for deadlifting, its around 200kg we reckon give or take a few kg's. I actually attempted the car first thing after a few warm up deads but failed . It so weird how different deadlifting the car is to using a normal olympic bar.
We have alot of strongman equipment as the the guy who trains me is the owner and is a Strongman competitor, just to the right of that pic is a full set of Atlas stones upto 180kg! Got tyre's to flip under the building and rope and sled pulling, farmers walks,duck walk etc.
